[QUOTE="seeking.IAM, post: 77169881, member: 27709"] I think it kind of depends on where you are in life, personality factors, propensity toward obsessive behavior or addictions, etc. I raised two sons who were big into gaming which I allowed but tried to moderate quite unsuccessfully. Every Friday night they and their friends filled my basement and ate my pizza while having LAN parties for gaming. This went on from middle school through high school. Out of my basement came four highly compensated IT professionals...one working for Microsoft, one for Amazon, one for a private software company, and one for a large medical research firm. They all came out of college making more money their first year than I had ever made in my life. So who was right? Them or the red-faced dad shouting down the basement stairs to turn off the computers and go out and get a life? Ours has become a tech-oriented world. I reckon it can get out of control for some folks, but it is not all bad. [/QUOTE]
